The next day’s march brought us to Chief Kavali. After awhile he handed me a note from Emin Pacha covered with a strip of black Ameri- can oil cloth.

On April 29 we once again rexched the bivouae ground oceupied by us on December 16, and at 5 p. m. of that day I saw the Khedive steamer about seven miles away steaming up to- ward wus. MEETING EMIN PASHA. Soon after 7 p.m. Emin Pasha, arrived at our camp, where they were hearti- ly welcomed by all of us. Next day we moved to x iug place, Nyamassie, betier cam about three miles above and at this spot. Emin Pacha also made his camp. We were together until May 25, when I left him, leay- ing Mr. three Jeppson, Soudanese over Lans- | and two Zanzibarsin his camp. Four- teen days later I was at Fort Bodo. At the fort were Capt. Nelson and Lieut. Stairs. The latter had return- ed from Ugarrowwas 22 days after I had set out from the lake, bringing with him, alas, only 16 men out of 56; all the rest were dead.

The letter then proceeds to sum- { marize what had been. Stanley says: We were 160 days in the one continuous, unbroken, forest, compact The grass land was travers- ed by us in eight days. — The limits of the forest along the edge are well marked. We saw it extending north- easterly, with its curves bays and caves just like a seashore. South- westerly it preserved the same char- acter. North and south the forest area extends from Nyangive to the southern borders of Monbutu cast and west it embraces all of the Con- | go; at the mouth of the Aruwimi to itude 40 degrees.
